I'm just saying that when they become needed, it just means (to me, at least) that they didn't build the building large enough for future growth.

I agree that a new portable is quite likely a better room than a 40 year old building might be.

So I agree with you on that.

When I first started at Miami Killian in 10th grade, they actually ran 2 shifts. Half the student body attended from 6:30 AM to noon or so, the other half from noon to 5:30. That was their solution for having too many students for the size of the building.

By the time I got to my senior year (1977 - yup..I'm an old fart!), they had done away with that because the student body had shrunk. I don't know if Killian has ever installed portables, but they may very well have.
